However, none of the other Sri Lankan batsmen were failed to resist Kagiso Rabada and Tabraiz Shamsi.

Kagiso Rabada led South Africa's attack with 4 for 41, and Tabraiz Shamsi, operating as the sole specialist spinner, took 4 for 33 to mop up the tail.

Sri Lanka opted to open the batting with Niroshan Dickwella and Upul Tharanga and as usual, Dickwella seems to be attempting to become too flamboyant and gifted his wicket so early, putting the home team in trouble.
